	Title		: Using Bloom Filters for Authenticated Yes/No Answers

Some aspects of DNSSEC, such as NXDOMAIN error messages, require an
authenticated answer.  Producing this answer requires complex
mechanisms, online storage of the zone's secret key, expensive online
computations, or massive zone files.  As an alternative, we propose
storage of authenticated pointers to Bloom filters.  This scheme
provides large reductions in the size of, and computational expense
to produce, partially-signed zone files.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
